After a mixed bag of Fantasy Premier League points returns in the 3pm kick-offs, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur meet in the eighth and final Double Gameweek 26 match of the day.

The action at the Etihad gets underway at 17:30 GMT.

Pep Guardiola makes two changes from the team that thrashed Sporting Lisbon 5-0 in the Champions League in midweek.

Kyle Walker, who was suspended for the tie in Portugal, returns at right-back, with John Stones dropping to the bench.

Ilkay Gundogan is recalled at the expense of the in-form Riyad Mahrez, meanwhile, which will necessitate a bit of a reshuffle in midfield and one of Bernardo Silva or Kevin De Bruyne playing further forward.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte makes four changes from the side that lost to Wolves last weekend, with Sweden international Dejan Kulusevski handed his first start for the club.

Eric Dier and Emerson Royal are back in defence and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg returns in midfield, while Davinson Sanchez, Matt Doherty, Harry Winks and Lucas Moura drop to the bench.

Sergio Reguilon confirmed on social media ahead of kick-off that he has Covid-19, so he sits out this game.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Foden, De Bruyne, Sterling

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Sessegnon, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

      Eh, you gotta take the bad with the good. He's got much more good. Sometimes the Son doesn't shine for him...

    Cancelo has punished anyone who hasn't freehitted. I'm expecting a yellow card at some point.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      No FH here but benched Cancelo. Got a bit lucky so far with him not to get an attacking return.

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Not free hitted, but he's on my bench.

  10. Arn De Gothia
    • 15 Years

    How is the new Swede (Kulusevski) playing? Could be an intriguing option

  11. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    So glad I stuck with my gut on Kane, he's looked so good of late but not had heaps of luck and also been a bit wayward with shooting but he's been making and getting so many chances
